BELLEVUE, H.. Dec. Judge Snyder rem
dered decision in the Eas. st. Louis bond cases.
Mr.. Gurdloch brought mandamus proceedings
to compel the levy of tax to pay bond for
81, 900 issued by the city and held by him. The
case was fought on the ground that the city, by
its charter could not levy a tax greater than 10

Snyder decided against the city. in order that
the case might be appealed. However, he
thought the city could not be compelled to levy
the tax in defiance of its charter. Bonds to the
amount of $3.50, 900 are involved.
